I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone.

I cannot delete an iCal event on my Iphone. It does not have the edit button at the top of the screen.
The event does not show up in iCal on my Mac or on my iCloud.
One of these is a reoccuring event.

The only other thing I can think of is to try deleting the entire calendar from your iPhone and then sync your iCal calendar to your phone again.  This needs to be done carefully.  I would begin by backing up your iCal calendar on your mac for safekeeping by opening iCal, then going to File>Export>Export, save this on your desktop.  Then do the following:
On your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn Calendars to Off.  You should get a prompt asking you whether to keep or remove the calendar data from your phone.  Choose to remove it.
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to iTunes>Preferences, go to the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing".
Now connect your phone and, as before, go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Confirm that you have checked to Sync Calendars with iCal, then further down under Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone check Calendars, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
This should transfer your iCal calendar to your iPhone, hopefully this time without the problem event.  Check your phone to confirm that this was successful, then you can then go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • Cannot add new iCal events on my iPhone 3G.

    My iPhone 3G has stopped saving new iCal events. I can still set up new events in iCal on my laptop, and they'll sync over to my iPhone, but new events won't save when entered into iCal on my iPhone. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix this?
    BTW, I just got rid of a MobileMe account. I never ended up using MobileMe, so it doesn't seem like that should be the issue here, but I noticed that some other folks have had iCal sync issues with MobileMe, so I thought I'd add that info.

    In other words, it's hacked.
    Sorry, you can't get help here.
    Say for an instance, that it wasn't hacked. Would you suggest to just wipe and restore it?

  • How do i delete a Facebook event from my iPhone 5? (there is no delete button or edit button)

    Hi
    I cannot delete an facebook event from my Iphone 5. This event has been accepted by email invite.
    There is no edit or delete button at the top or bottom of the screen when I tap the event to search out its details.
    How do I remove such an event from my Ical calendar on my Iphone 5?

    I am not sure how this works but it seems that it may be all or nothing.
    To turn off Facebook events on your device:
    Settings > Facebook > Calendars > Off
    If you do not want to disable everything, maybe this thread will help:

  • Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event?

    Shouldn't I get a confirmation dialog when I delete an iCal event?  When I select an event and hit the delete key, the event is deleted without a confirmation dialog.  Aren't we supposed to get a confirmation dialog?  I thought I used to get one.  This is not good because I sometimes accidentally hit the delete key when working in iCal and the event is gone and I didn't notice that it happened.

    Don't know about 10.8, but in 10.6 you don't get one for an ordinary event.

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

  • How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone?

    How do I delete a calendar event in my iphone? It allows me to "edit" the event but not to totally delete it. Or at least I can't seem to find a "delete" option anywhere!

    Did you create the event somewhere else?  A lot of time when u create it on lets say PC or mac, you wont be able to edit it unless its from the same device. 
    Its also possible its created under a mail account.  I would suggest making all your events via icloud, then u should be able to edit it on all platforms regardless on which device made the event.

  • How to delete all calendar events in my iphone.

    I need to delete all the events in my iphone which I have added manually in the calendar. Should I delete one by one in the calendar or do we have an option to delete all. I haven't synched my calendar with any external softwares including iCloud.

    Turn ON Calendar in iCloud settings and choose merge. Wait few seconds and turn in back OFF. Choose delete from my iPhone. Now go to www.icloud.com from a desktop browser, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Calendars to delete all entries (if you want) more easily.

  • Can't delete an ical event

    i schedule an event in ical to "never" expire. i had set the event to remind me everyday until i had performed the task. once i was ready to delete the event it would not let me. what would happen is it would let me delete the evet but would show back up in 3 to 4 seconds. i've tried changing the end date and that didn't help, it would default back to the original setting.
    however, i can delete them one at a time, that does work, however i need the "delete all future events" to work. any suggestions?
    thanks

    Contacts' birthdays and eventsWhen you subscribe to this calendar, all of your contacts' birthdays will display as All Day events in Google Calendar. Data is pulled from Google Contacts, which you can access via http://www.google.com/contacts (or, if you have a Gmail account, click Contacts from your inbox).
    Have you tried removing the date from your Gmail contacts?

  • All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

    Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
    If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
    Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
    Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
    But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

    I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
    I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
    I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

  • I cannot add enchange calender events from my iphone

    I am trying to send a calender event from my Iphone  to my Outlook 2010 calender.  we are running Exchange server 2010 at work.  The event just never shows up on outlook.

    Sounds like a problem with the email account. You can try and turn the account off, don't delete it. Then power the phone off/on and then turn the account back on. See if that helps. If not, then turn the account off and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, turn the account back on. If that doesn't do it, then delete the account from the phone and then recreate it. That should fix it.

  • Receiving iCal events on the iPhone

    Hi,
    sad that there is no way to automatically convert iCal events (sent to me by mail on my iPhone) into the calendar application. That would be nice even if it works so great on the mac.

    If you would like to send feedback on the iphone, this link might help.

    OK, get this. When I double-click to edit NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING happens on screen BUT, if I click my button to see all open apps, voila! iCal appears with an edit window, but disapeers when I select iCal. This is nuts.
    I have this problem too. I think it has something to do with Spaces. The edit window IS there but is off the screen window. Moving iCal off-center may bring the edit window into view. I'm still searching for the solution too. Perhaps putting iCal in all Spaces windows may work.
